Double Chocolate Chip Brownie Doughnuts

Even though I don’t celebrate Valentine’s day, I wanted to make sure I had ample recipes prepared for those that do. I’m notorious for sharing things dyed pink and/or heart-shaped – so if you want to get extra cute this year, you might wanna check out my previous V-day recipes (I talked about them in the previous post!).

Sticking with a traditional flavor, you can never go wrong with chocolate. These donuts are the perfect combo of a brownie and cake all rolled into one. Slightly dense and sweet enough to win over the toughest off critics. I love the minimalist ingredients as well, you can add even more toppings to these if you’d like. I bet some dandies marshmallows + crushed nuts would be a delicious rocky road inspired version, or you could even omit the cacao powder and substitute in powdered peanut butter and dip them in a chocolate cashew cream “frosting”, for a peanut butter cup version. The combos are vast and I’m now starving, dreaming about the endless possibilities.

If you’re looking to add something sweet to your day or treat your significant other to a special dessert, I can’t recommend this recipe enough! It’s the perfect option for a Valentine’s day brunch or a sweet throughout the day. This recipe yields 6 small donuts, perfect for sharing with your bae (that’s what the cool kids are saying, yeah?).
Regardless of your views on the holiday, everyone could use a little more chocolate in their lives, amirite?! So get your doughnut pan, whip up this batter and bake something sinfully delicious to devour this weekend.

Almond flour is a bit grainy, I used a super-fine rice flour, if you want to use almond I would recommend mixing it with another flour that’s finer. Like 1/2 almond + 1/2 gf blend, rice flour, quinoa flour, teff flour or a blend of starches. Hope this helps!
